A year go, at Easter, we were in first lockdown with an uncertain future and our churches well and truly shut. This year we are emerging from what turned out to be an unprecedented year - a year of separation, a year of major adjustments in our lives and for some a year of sorrow. But spring is the season of hope. From early February right through to May nature really shows us what hope looks like. New life is to THOUGHTS be seen everywhere – the early white snowdrops, the daffodils, the blossom, the trees beginning to show their new green apparel – all FROM THE symbols of the earth waking up to a new beginning. Easter Day this year is on Sunday, 4th April, so right in the middle of this frenzy of regeneration in the plant world. A resurrection, you might say, of things thought to be dead. That is the wonderful thing DESK OF... about our seasons – through them we are better able to fully appre- ciate the wonder of new life again and again and appreciate that with The Team newness comes hope. On the first Easter day the disciples of Jesus moved from despair to hope. They had lost a friend, a teacher, a special man who could per- VICAR form miracles, a man who stood up for those marginalised by society, who was an advocate for those whom society rejected. But on that first Easter Day their despair in losing him turned into joy when they met him again as the risen Lord. What they thought was the end was just the beginning – a new hope offered for all people. The Easter message is a hopeful one. Because he died for us, in Christ we can be made new - and not just at Eastertime but at anytime. No matter what has happened in our past, when we turn to Jesus as our Saviour we will find acceptance, comfort and forgive- ness. So this Easter let us give thanks for the doctors, the nurses, the scientists, the keyworkers and all those who have helped us through this challenging time, and acknowledge that in the risen Lord we have His glorious gift of new life and his offer of new beginnings again and again. Happy Easter from the churches of The Winterbournes and Compton Valence Yours in Christ Jean 4 V&V APR 21.indd 4 17/03/2021 08:38 CHURCH SERVICES during HOLY WEEK and ...

  • The Team Rector Writes
    The Team Rector Writes... Dear Friends, When Bishop Nicholas visited the deaneries of the Diocese during Lent 2015 to develop our conversation around the vision RENEWING HOPE – PRAY, SERVE, GROW, he challenged us with three questions: What do you pray for? Whom do we serve? How will you grow? Questions that might at a first glance seem easy to answer: I want to encourage you to take time this Advent to look at those questions and allow yourselves to be more challenged than you expect! Advent and Christmas are seasons for the renewing of hope and I wonder whether we might try sharing our stories of hope with each other, as we seek to tell the greatest story of hope? At the start of diocesan meetings we now spend time sharing our stories of hope, talking about the things that have given us hope recently. First a candle is lit as the centre of the meeting – symbol of Christ’s presence in our midst; the Bible is read and studied; then people tell one another their stories. Simple but profound and challenging too! It is easy to be busy and preoccupied by the needs and demands of the day, especially in preparation for Christmas! But how life giving and holy it is to seek out and name those moments when hope has erupted. For some Christmas is unbounded joy and excitement, for others it is painful and troubling. However, it is the moment when we reflect on the truth that God became a human being; forever to experience our joys and sorrows alongside us.

  • Water Situation Report Wessex Area
    Monthly water situation report Wessex Area Summary – November 2020 Wessex received ‘normal’ rainfall in November at 84% LTA (71 mm). There were multiple bands of rain throughout November; the most notable event occurred on the 14 November, when 23% of the month’s rain fell. The last week of November was generally dry. The soil moisture deficit gradually decreased throughout November, ending the month on 7 mm, which is higher than the deficit this time last year, but lower than the LTA. When compared to the start of the month, groundwater levels at the end of November had increased at the majority of reporting sites. Rising groundwater levels in the Chalk supported the groundwater dominated rivers in the south, with the majority of south Wessex reporting sites experiencing ‘above normal’ monthly mean river flows, whilst the surface water dominated rivers in the north had largely ‘normal’ monthly mean flows. Daily mean flows generally peaked around 14-16 November in response to the main rainfall event. The dry end to November caused a recession in flows, with all bar two reporting sites ending the month with ‘normal’ daily mean flows. Total reservoir storage increased, with Wessex Water and Bristol Water ending November with 84% and 83%, respectively. Rainfall Wessex received 71 mm of rainfall in November (84% LTA), which is ‘normal’ for the time of year. All hydrological areas received ‘normal’ rainfall bar the Axe (69% LTA; 61 mm) and West Somerset Streams (71% LTA; 79 mm), which had ‘below normal’ rainfall. The highest rainfall accumulations (for the time of year) were generally in the east and south.

  • Catchment Report 2015
    Catchment report 2015 www.wessexwater.co.uk Introduction Welcome to the first edition of our annual catchment report. In the past water authorities organised themselves according to river catchments and often controlled land use around water sources to prevent contamination of groundwater. However, after privatisation the focus shifted to upgrading water and sewage treatment infrastructure to provide greater guarantees that drinking water and effluent standards would be met within short timescales. While major improvements were made to the quality of our drinking water and treated effluent, they came at a high price in terms of capital and operational costs such as additional treatment chemicals and an increased carbon footprint, due to the energy used. More recently, there has been an upsurge in interest in catchment management as a less resource-intensive way to protect groundwater, streams and rivers. Since 2005 we have been carrying out catchment work in cooperation with farmers to optimise nutrient and pesticide inputs to land. This often means dealing with the causes of problems by looking at land use, management practices and even the behaviour of individuals. Addressing the issue at source is much more sustainable than investing in additional water treatment that is expensive to build and operate and leaves the problem in the environment. At the same time we have been amassing data on the condition of the rivers and estuaries in our region to ensure that any subsequent investment is proportional and based on solid evidence. We have also been working on different ways to engage with the public and influence behaviour to help protect water supplies and sewers and, in turn, the water environment.
